Freelance Fox13 reporter and anchor Rob Sneed has been laid off by the TV station, Sneed said in a social media post . Posted in the evening of Nov. 5, Sneed said the station had cut him and that it had been a financial decision.

I was chasing a second chance," he wrote. "And Memphis/Mid-South you made that step out on faith worth it." Sneed thanked viewers and Fox13 and wished his former colleagues at the station the best. He said he did not know what his next steps were, but that he was open to opportunities in television news, communications and public relations. Sneed's LinkedIn page shows he previously worked in TV news in Columbus, Ohio, Chicago and Huntsville, Alabama. "My story is far from over. I'm so sorry to anyone who's

Pull Over For The Tender Ribs At This Memphis, Tennessee BBQ Favorite

A whole Cornish hen, smoked and sauced, sits on the menu right next to the ribs. That alone tells you this barbecue joint plays by its own rules. Then there’s the barbecue spaghetti. Yes, spaghetti, wearing smoky sauce like it was born for the job. I like how a place can be this confident about something so unexpected.

Tocowa, Panola County: Mineral Springs, a Historic Hotel, and a Forgotten Mississippi Resort Town

Appalachian Community Histories – Tocowa, Panola County: Mineral Springs, a Historic Hotel, and a Forgotten Mississippi Resort Town. In the wooded hills of southwestern Panola County, Mississippi, where the rolling bluffs descend toward the lowlands of the Mississippi Delta, there once stood a small town known for its mineral springs, country hotel, and reputation as a place of healing. The community was called Tocowa, although historical records also refer to the surrounding area as Tocowa Springs or Tocawa Springs Village. During the nineteenth century, its natural spring attracted visitors who believed that the water possessed medicinal properties, while the surrounding settlement developed into a small center of rural commerce, education, and community life.

For Over Sixty Years, Memphis Families Have Shared Burgers At Dixie Queen… No, At Jim’s Place

Some Memphis-area families keep a short list of places for the big moments, and one restaurant has held a spot on that list for generations. Anniversaries land there. Birthdays get sung there, sometimes twice in one night, with servers joining the chorus. Rehearsal dinners for more than 40 guests arrive at the table all at once.
